It is an interesting approach - you're expected to have children. Like...I struggle to find a partner right now and to think how I could live on a generation ship with that requirement looming over my head. And would being single disqualify me outright?
Consider a society where every person setting the rules for 20-30 years is a parent with a partner who have at least 2 children; Theoretically with young, similarly aged children to that of their peers. That kind of dynamic would be interesting to see how it influences lifestyle and government far down the line.
